What makes CU Boulder different?

Our program offers close mentorship and a vibrant intellectual exchange between students and faculty. Graduate students work closely with leading scholars of modern literature, culture, philosophy, and the arts from the Enlightenment to the present. PhD students are encouraged to conduct interdisciplinary research in German Studies and a secondary concentration (i.e. classics, environmental science, art history, Jewish studies), and they are full members of the innovative cross-disciplinary Consortium for Doctoral Studies in Literatures and Cultures, which offers inter-departmental mentorship and trans-cultural exchange.
